Im 19 year old female. For the past few months I have notice that I began to develop boils on my buttocks when I about to start my menstrual cycle. Lately, they have become more painful than usual. What can cause boils to develop each time I start to have my cycle? How can I overcome this.

Hello, th cause is folliculitis and due to hormonal derangement during menses, just like acne they too can often flourish, however recommended that you should keep the butt area hair free to prevent such episodes.
